How much do you respect other people requests ?

Asked by Hibernate (9091points) June 21st, 2011

When someone asks you nicely something or you are told that you are a bit disrespectful toward some things.

Or when you do things that are “bad” for others.

How much do you take into consideration when someone asks you not to do some things ?

Overall how much do you respect others ?

P.S. Since the scale was “removed” sorry for those who replied.

I usually take others in consideration and I try to respect their wishes as much as I can.
If I do some harm i apologize.
I’m around a 8 most of the time.

I’m a people pleaser, so I’d say a 10.

I have to judge for myself if respecting their wishes is something I would be comfortable doing. If there’s no conflict for me (beliefs, values, principles etc) and no discernible harm would result, then yes, I will try to respect their wishes.

It all depends on the request.It doesn’t matter how nicely they ask.
As for respect? You get what you give with me.If you are a jackass,then you will get treated as one.

I will not participate in a bone-head request to do or not do something. Otherwise I will jump through flaming hoops to help someone anyone again as long as it is a respectful request and not a selfish or self-centered request.

I am pretty respectful of other people, and expect the same from them.

I will not, however, get drawn into other people’s drama controversies. The “I need you to not call/speak/answer her because….” does not fly well with me. I will tell people that try to impose their problems on me that I am not participating, and will not have my relationships with other people dictated by someone else.

Depends on their reasoning and the amount of respect I have for them.

As much as I can. I get very embarrassed if it’s pointed out to me I did something offensive or without tact.

I can’t remember the last time I was called disrespectful, but I certainly try to be helpful whenever I can be and not to annoy others. I’d stop or apologize right away if I’ve done something offensive unless it’s something like “please don’t cross your legs that way” or “that shade of nail polish bothers my eyes, please don’t wear it anymore” ...in other words, if it’s a reasonable request.

Someone has to work pretty hard for me to stop respecting them.

I respect other people’s request more than myself as when someone is requesting it means he or she is humble and does not wants you to get hurt. If he/she is thinking too much about me even when I was wrong and delivering the message in the most humble manner, I consider it my duty to show respect towards them.

I agree with @JilltheTooth. For the most part it means, I respect their request.

What I’m noticing is how difficult it is for people to respect our requests. But I suppose that’s another topic altogether.
